Historic Barbados

Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasts British colonial architecture built in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.

Established in 1628, Bridgetown is the capital and commercial centre of Barbados; it was originally named “Indian Bridge” after the indigenous Arawaks who built a crude bridge over the river near the centre of town in the early 1600s.
